Walnut Creek is planning new bikeways and pedestrian improvements on several key streets and Bike East Bay is working with Bike Walnut Creek to ensure great bikeways are included.

As part of the West Downtown Area Plan, Walnut Creek is redesigning California Blvd, Mt. Diablo Blvd, and Olympic Blvd, and all three streets can include comfortable, low-stress bikeways that are protected from traffic.

In addition, Walnut Creek is working with the County and with Lafayette, to study a pathway connection between the Iron Horse Trail and the Lafayette-Moraga Trail. We are pushing for a modern two-way cycle track to be included as part of this project.

We need your help to add protected bike lanes to Treat Blvd, a busy arterial road next to Pleasant Hill BART. Current proposals for bike lanes on Treat Blvd are better than original designs that had you riding on sidewalks, but still leave you dodging through high-speed, right-turning traffic...

Despite strong public support for protected bikeways expressed at community workshops this past Spring, Walnut Creek staff are backtracking and proposing a combination of sharrows and bike lanes on important bike routes such as California Blvd in the West Downtown Specific Plan.
